Umamusume (Gaming) Thread

[Manko-sensei]

I'm seriously considering sitting this CM out. The update shot the requirements through the roof, and although parent runs supposedly got easier, I'm not really seeing it. Sure, the affinity changes made things easier, and the spark rerolls also help, but it's still very RNG-heavy, so yeah, I'm not seeing it. I really don't like Sprint/Mile CMs.

Join the goers club like myself!

Leo Cup 2026 (CM16) Report, Part 1: I don't need this CM's Carats. I definitely don't need this CM's Carats... I NEEEEEED THEM!​

So, in the end, I wound up scrambling together a team for the CM. Here's the team I used in Round 1:

It's not a great team. Fatty is lacking Wit, King Halo is lacking Power, and Taiki doesn't have Sprint S. Even so, the team managed a 63% win rate, which, considering everything, is pretty good for a Sprint CM.

I'm still doing a few runs to try to improve the team. Last night, I high-rolled a Taiki run and ended up with my first UG Uma:

I'm really curious to see how she'll perform in the second round. Let's see if I can improve the others too.

Leo Cup 2026 (CM16) Report, Part 2: A Strong Uma Is... Strong.​

I tried to improve the team, but I didn't get lucky. So, the team I used in Round 2 was the same one I posted before, except I replaced Taiki with the UG one. And well, she did very well:

A 52.5% win rate in the second round of a Sprint CM is pretty good. She raised my overall win rate from 63% to 75%, which is excellent for someone who wasn't even planning to participate in the CM.

I'm hoping for a win in the finals, but it's a Sprint CM, and shit happens:

Since you're no longer using Trackblazer mode, are the careers shorter to complete?

 

[Litreara]

Since you're no longer using Trackblazer mode, are the careers shorter to complete?

Yeah, it's much shorter. I did all my runs in Unity Cup, and you can finish one in under 30 minutes. If they hadn't rolled out the Unity Cup update early and I'd had to do my runs in Trackblazer, I probably wouldn't have entered the CM.

Also, the new scenario is dropping pretty soon. From what they've said, it's much closer to Unity Cup than it is to Trackblazer.

Even though the next CM is on a dirt track, it's still a Medium CM, so it's XOguri time. AGAIN.

Club fan inflation is crazy right now. Not only did they add auto-training, but because of the 1.5 anniversary, the TP cost for training runs was cut in half. My club quota went from 1.8 million fans a day to 5 million a day.

We got a real Uma for our family farm, a young female, we called her Maria. They didn't let me name her after Umamusume stuff, they know me too well dammit.

I can pretend she is North Flight I guess, cause her VA is Maria Sashide.

Remember to pamper her by giving her lots of praise, any Uma deserves it.

I'm kind of scared of her so I have not gotten close to her. She doesn't know us yet so we're letting her get used to our field at her own pace.

Learn how to raise horses, any beast (specially humans) need to be guided or it'll become a good-for-nothing eater.

I'm not the "animal expert" of the family, that's my sis and her partner which are the pros at it. They're the ones who will handle the actual training.

All I do is pick up da poops and fill their food when needed. I'm just da janitor.

Ah, perfect, then you know who to blame if necessary.

They're pretty damn good at training animals, they should be fine. They have experience with mammals, reptiles, insects, etc.

I have experience with a shovel picking up poop.

Marketable skill.

Well, to be a bit more kind to myself, I do manage the crop part of our farm, since no else here likes to manage the dirt, manure, worms, and all other stuff involving ground critters.

Got some onions, beans, pumpkins, banana trees, potatoes, and various tropical root veggies.

What's this "Our Grand Concert" career that got added?

They stopped the pretense that this wasn't secretly the sequel to Idolmasters with a horse reskin I guess.

I'll give it a try to see how it works.

It's the new scenario that was added recently. I haven't played it yet because I can't decide what to do with one of the support cards that's really good for it. I can MLB it with a crystal and save my Carats, but I only have one crystal. Or I could pull for more... I dunno. I have until day 10 to decide.

The only thing I've done so far is spam auto-training runs because of the club fan inflation.

Playing it now, it kind of feels like Unity Cup+.

Yeah, from what I read, it's something like that.
